Hello! I have a million dollar question... Well, I don't have a million
dollars but do have a burning question:

Aside from a return receipt, is it possible using Outlook 2003 to "force"
the recipient of an e-mail to read it? For example, I'm in communications
and we often times send very important informational e-mails to our employees
and they simply delete them. Can we use Outlook to function where they cannot
continue to use their Oulook until they read the e-mail sent to them from us
and check a box in the e-mail that has text next to it stating they have read
it?

I.e. Let's say I want to send a particular e-mail to employees that is
required to be read by them. I open up the e-mail, check some sort of box
stating I want this particular e-mail to be required to be read by employees
and send it out. The recipient receives the e-mail and they can't use the
functionality of their Outlook until they click into this particular e-mail
and check the box they have read it. Then, I would assume I'd want something
set up to where the results are tracked in a database. Is this possible and,
if so, what would be the steps I would need in order to do so?

Hope this makes sense. Thanks in advance for the replies!

You could send surveys and track the answers. But what do you think would
happen if any spammer could block your Outlook?
